Come on 10% off on Utopia, that's kind of weak. I also haven't played since around release and was looking for a better incentive to start playing again. I guess I'll stop whining though because I'm probably gonna buy it anyway.

So sectors, how should I be using these? Is it good to develop the colony and surrounding systems at all before I sector it or can I just immediately sector a new planet.

Psycho Landlord posted:It sorta depends on what stage of the game you're at and how fast you're expanding. Early on, yes, definitely only give developed worlds to sectors. Once that sector is reasonably established, however, there's no real harm in throwing them new or developing worlds. Pretty much the only worlds that I wouldn't just throw in a sector in the late game is one that has a bunch of freshly conquered pops with super high unrest - you'll want to build a few defensive armies on those first. Thanks, I thought I could just grab resources by building colony's over my limit and then just instantly sector them early on, and that went pretty poorly. My other game I thought "wow look at all these resources around me ill just build as many frontier outposts as I can to grab them all  !" without realizing that it would bottom out my influence and gently caress me. After reading a bunch of guides I've got a better Idea of how to manage my resources to expand a little more patiently. I like that Stellaris is more friendly to new people than the other Paradox games but it's still plenty different enough from Civ that I kind of have to get my head around it.

WampaLord posted:I like to try to get 5 worlds colonized in about 15-20 years, I find that gives me a good base to build from. Wow that seems fast or I'm really slow (prob that one). I'm at about 30 years now and only have 4  , although I guess a 5th ship is on the way. Do you just beeline the expansion tradition to get to 5 direct control colony's or are you using sectors?E: Guess you answered that. Also for any other new players I thought this youtube series was useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSxAmewv2-U

After reading that 5 core thing Efficient Bureaucracy sounds really good . Starting with +2 direct control seems way better than the +8% fire rate distinguished admirals I took on my babies first race.

Well its 2256 and here's where I stand. critique me About to go to war with those Kar-Zu assholes for the second time.

Is galactic force projection as good as it sounds? +200 fleet capacity seems pretty nuts I have about 250 capacity right now at about 100 years in so that would almost double my fleet size since I'm just sitting on tons of minerals right now.

Filthy Monkey posted:Should happen automatically once the research is done. I have had problems with it when taking over planets that already have robots/droids after I already have the research done though. Not sure there is any way to fix that. Yeah it worked after I reloaded a save and researched it again, odd. How come a few of my Synths are enslaved but others aren't, do ones I've already build not get that status? E: Nevermind they're all slaves apparently. Axetrain fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Jul 3, 2017 |

Ugh my first game that got to late game has gotten too bogged down. It's like 2470 and it will be probably another 100 years of war before I can win. It's me + vassals and 2 other huge factions and although I am stronger it will a long while before I can grind them down. Think I might just start a new game as devouring swarm and see if that tickles my fancy.

How are you guys building your ships and fleets? Im still using this old guide but I'm pretty sure that's not really relevant anymore. Seems like energy weapons are still king IMO, I tried missiles and despite the buffs I'm not impressed. Battleships, yea or nay?

Battleships used to be a pretty terrible waste of resources and fleet strength, cruisers were the real workhorse brawlers you wished your BBs were, and I don't know if that's changed. They had (have?) atrocious hit rates against smaller ships so a swarm of plasma corvettes would eat them alive. They also have all that potential armor but don't use it effectively to tank hits instead hanging out in the back looking real pretty but generally being useless. I don't think this guide has been updated for 1.8 yet but it's what I am using and still seems pretty effective and this is his take on battleships.quote:You probably wonder why there are no battleships in the list. He does later go on to mention that he thinks they work good against the Prethoryn. I haven't tried carriers battleships at all yet though so I'm gonna build a bunch of those and see how they work since I've heard alot of praise for them.

I guess I'll try more battleship fleets then, especially arc emitters . I posted that guide because It's the only in depth build by build guide I'm aware of and I've seen alot of "how do I build my fleets" posts by goons, myself included.

Crazycryodude posted:The only real small planet I've seen recently started life as a barren planet and got the anomaly ("Grimacing", I think?) that lets your scientist expend a few hundred energy to try and instantly terraform it. It was a size 6, actually, maybe that's what happened to that one? AI came along and did the event? Possible, I just found this in some freshly conquered territory.

There should be planet that is super rich in minerals and energy, but it turns out it's Unicron and after colonizing it he wakes up eventually.

Assimilators are strong as gently caress. By 2300 I was far and away the strongest empire in the galaxy. Just got to wipe out a pesky FE before they wake up and then bulk up for whatever endgame crisis comes my way.

I think Wiz already said he didn't even want victory conditions in the game and they only exist as an after thought for the people who demanded it.
